Haggis X-1 is a high-energy Celtic rock band built around veteran members of Enter the Haggis. Over a 30-year career, Enter the Haggis toured extensively across North America, performing on national television programs and on prestigious stages such as the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. With over four million Spotify streams, their songs “One Last Drink” and “Down With The Ship” have become modern Celtic pub anthems, keeping audiences raising a pint and singing along wherever they’re played. All are invited to raise their own glass when Haggis X-1 plays the Opera House at Boothbay Harbor on Wednesday, July 15 at 7:30 pm.

Carrying the legacy of Enter the Haggis forward, Haggis X-1 blends driving rhythms, pipes, fiddle, and memorable songs into a powerful live show that connects with longtime Haggis Heads and new listeners alike. The band delivers a celebration of sound, rooted in strong melodies, fiery instrumentals and soulful improvisation.

Haggis X-1 showcases Craig Downie’s signature piping, vocals, songwriting, and humor, brought to life by a powerhouse lineup of top-tier musicians. In addition to Downie on bagpipes, Trevor Lewington on guitar and Tom Barraco on drums, Haggis X-1 features Jesse Grandmont on fiddle, guitarist Will Earley adding rhythmic punch and melodic flair, vocalist/keyboardist Charlotte Roth bringing dynamic lead vocals and rich textures, and Anthony Candullo on bass.
